Florida or Bust!

After a 5am departure on Friday, December 27, 2013, we have completed our two-day drive to Florida.  We stopped overnight in Jasper, Alabama, and rolled in to a Hampton Inn in Jacksonville, Florida at around 8:15pm on Saturday, December 28th.  Around 25 hours drive time.

A cool thing happened when we were on I-75 South in Georgia.  My phone beeped and said something like, “A faster route is available, would you like to use it?”  Apparently there was a huge accident and Google routed us around it.  Very nice of it.  Unfortunately it tried to put us back on to I-75 on the on-ramp where the wreckage from the accident was towed to, but we found our way back to the interstate, thanks to 3G and Google maps!

Tomorrow we’ll make a leisurely trip to Orlando after what I hope is a restful night!

    Wow! Glad you made it safely. What a fast trip! We’re starting to pack here for ours!
    I think I’m doing this wrong and you’ll get this twice. It says at the top, “Your comment is awaiting moderation.” I thought I was being pretty moderate! (joke)
